Dotted Lines

(album: Hold On Baby - 2022)

I think I'm tied to the bed
Pray I wake and these feelings are dead
I got a lot to regret
Like dotted lines that I signed at 17

I'm fucking better than them
I give em good shit again and again, no end
They should be happy and fed
But instead

I throw a couple back on the bathroom tiles
Paint a pretty face over tears I've cried
Say a little prayer that it'll be alright
It sounds like a song
But it hits like a Bible

Get a little too high
Get a little too drunk tonight
But you're gonna have fun tonight
It sounds like I'm breaking but I'm just trying to make it out

You've had a real tough time, sugar
But you're safe in my arms tonight
But you're going to have fun tonight
It sounds like I'm breaking but I'm just trying to make it out

I'm on the outs looking in
Ooh I'm so much younger than I pretend

I've got a lot in my head
But they don't care 'cause it's better when I don't speak

I'm fucking smarter than them
I work dropping coins in their hand, no end
They should be my biggest fan
But instead

I throw a couple back on the bathroom tiles
Paint a pretty face over tears I've cried
Say a little prayer that'll be alright
It sounds like a song
But it hits like a Bible

Get a little too high
Get a little too drunk tonight
But you're gonna have fun tonight
It sounds like I'm breaking but I'm just trying to make it out

You've had a real tough time, sugar
But you're safe in my arms tonight
But you're going to have fun tonight
It sounds like I'm breaking but I'm just trying to make it out

You've had a real tough time
You let 'em back seat drive
Just keep keeping it tight
'Cause you're too young to die

It sounds like a song
But it hits like a Bible

Get a little too high
Get a little too drunk tonight
But you're gonna have fun tonight
It sounds like I'm breaking but I'm just trying to make it out

You've had a real tough time, sugar
But you're safe in my arms tonight
But you're going to have fun tonight
It sounds like I'm breaking but I'm just trying to make it out
